Flownex is a systems CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code that enables users to perform detail design, analysis, optimization and even monitoring of a wide range of thermal-fluid systems ranging from simple pipe networks to complex systems such as gas turbine engines or combined cycle power plants. Flownex Simulation Environment allows and controls the co-simulation of several solvers. Such solvers may include the Flownex systems CFD solver, any amount of new internal solvers (like control systems (DCS), electrical network solvers and user coded C# script components and MS Excel components) as well as external solvers (like Matlab or Aspen). FlownexSE also allows users to add or create their own solvers and models.
Typical applications include:
- Pipeline design including valves and compressor or pumping stations.
- Design and optimization of distribution networks for air, gas, fuel, water, oil and steam.
- Compressed air networks including compressor stations and valves.
- Design of gas, steam or combined cycle power plants.
- Turbo engine performance prediction, including the effect of leak flows and cooling flows.
- Turbo engine combustion chamber design and optimization.
- Refrigeration system performance prediction.
- Design of a complete vehicle air conditioning systems.

- Compressor and turbine performance prediction and power matching.
- Hydraulic systems.
- Heat exchanger networks.
- Utility water and chilled water distribution networks.
- Design of mining ventilation networks.
- Analysis of heating and cooling equipment.
- Manifold design.
- Aircraft cabin depressurization studies.
- Water hammer analysis.
- Mine ventilation.
- Gas transmission, incuding realtime linepack calculation.
